New! OOAK upcycled reconstructed jeans shoulder bag

Here is other fun, one of a kind, recycled jeans shoulder bags, made out of gently used pieces that I selected for their style and quality.

I look for unique and cool jeans to create my bags. I pre-wash all items before designing. And then, I carefully cut apart and cobble back together to create an exclusive design. I never use a pattern, each one is totally unique.

Save the world one bag at a time! Using upcycled and recycled materials is a way for us to reduce our impact on the environment and keep Mother Nature beautiful and healthy.

Her addiction is thrifting and antiquing. Vintage by Alex Keller started as a place to sell vintage jewelry. It has grown into a curation of housewares and décor that Alex would want for herself. These items stay with her for a time, are rediscovered, and make their way to new homes.
